Giganta the Vampire Slayer

Man, too long here without any Giganta posts.




It was the Fourth Age of Giganta. First, she'd been an evolved gorilla, before post-Crisis gave her size-changing powers of unknown origin. After Infinite Crisis she decided to drop caveman-chic for a motorcycle suit and dated the Atom.

What happened to Wonder Woman's greatest foe after Flashpoint in the New 52? For one thing, she barely met Princess Diana, showing up for a random cold open in an issue of Superman/WonderWoman. No, instead she took her new, abs-baring costume through the mess of 'Forever Evil'alongside Vandal Savage, where she ran into Pandora, becoming far closer to that character over the course of the latter's solo series.

Also, she fought vampires.












Of course, there was a falling out with Vandal Savage.

















This, of course, went nowhere, what with it being the last issue and all, and Pandora being unceremoniously snuffed out not long after. :( Still, maybe one day Giganta will get onto that Justice League, huh?

From issues 11, 13 and 14 of Trinity of Sin: Pandora.

And later on, Doomsday Clock had Giganta go back to the furkini, because Geoff Johns.

Fondness for Giganta increasing dangerously...

I've always liked it when some of the more redeemable villains realized that there's a possible future working as a good guy... (See: Sandman, Absorbing Man and Titania...) and Giganta was fun when she was portrayed as more sympathetic and less "urrrgh fight the heroes."

Though some of those scans up there make me once again question how well artists understand female bodies. When the skin tight outfit is actually hugging the boobs underneath and you find yourself wondering how exactly that supports them...

Oh yes, and Pandora. There's totally a character I'd forgotten about. Much like so much of the rest of the New 52. When you think about it, it's telling how much of the New 52 didn't stick even after DC went to their "everything counts" phase.
